The trip west from Thessaloniki (Greece) is along a road surrounded by a landscape of mountainous reliefs and solitary houses, surrounded by half a dozen thermal power plants. The path leads to two refuges that protect wildlife. There, near a town called Aëtós, It is possible to encounter a wolf in the corner of a farm or wake up having lost part of the harvest after the passage of the brown bear. What is most striking about this region, the coldest in the country, where there are two other towns, Agrapidia (home of the wolves), and Nymfaio (bear area), is the silence. At the foot of the hills, about twenty meters from a cemetery, there is a veterinary center where, between electrified barriers, six bears live that are not afraid to look each other in the eye.
